Rent or buy?
It depends on your plans.

Updated 1 November 2026 · Garuda Bike Rentals

Renting isn't always the cheaper choice. It can be useful for visitors, short-term stays and occasional journeys, while ownership may make more sense for long-term everyday use.

When renting makes sense

If you need a scooter for a few days, a temporary commute or a short trip around Warangal, renting can save you from purchasing, storing and eventually selling a vehicle. It also lets you select a different model for different plans.

What Garuda actually charges

Published rates include Activa ₹500/day, Glamour ₹600/day, Maestro ₹400/day, Classic 350 ₹1,200/day and Hunter 350 ₹1,500/day. One-week Activa rental is listed at ₹3,000; a 30-day Activa plan is listed at ₹12,000. Mileage, fuel, deposit and other terms matter, so do not compare only the headline price.

When buying may be the better choice

For long-term daily commuting, buying a two-wheeler could be more economical over time, depending on the purchase price, finance, insurance, maintenance, fuel and resale value. Those numbers differ substantially by customer and vehicle.

A fair comparison

• Calculate exactly how many days you need transport.
• Include any deposit requirements and kilometre allowance in your rental plan.
• If buying, include finance costs, servicing, insurance, depreciation and resale.
• Choose based on your actual length of stay, not a made-up break-even point.
